At Corner Lot, we believe that building strong communities goes far beyond the projects we develop—it’s about investing in people, especially the next generation. That’s why our partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Northeast Florida (BGCNF) continues to be one of our most meaningful commitments.
From community events to youth recognition galas, we’re proud to support BGCNF in their mission to inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need it most, to reach their full potential.
A Look Back at Our Growing Partnership
2023: Great Futures Golf Classic at TPC Sawgrass
We were honored to participate as a November Foursome sponsor in the annual Great Futures Golf Classic. Held at the iconic TPC Sawgrass, the event raised critical funds to support BGCNF programs while bringing local businesses and leaders together for a good cause—and a great day of golf.
2024: Summer Nights Celebration with Nico Flowers
In the summer of 2024, we joined the festivities at the vibrant Summer Nights event, featuring artist Nico Flowers. It was a joyful evening of music, community, and connection that brought together supporters, families, and BGCNF youth.
2024: Celebrating Youth of the Year
Corner Lot proudly sponsored a table at the Youth of the Year gala, one of BGCNF’s cornerstone events. The evening celebrated exceptional young leaders from across Northeast Florida who exemplify character, leadership, and resilience. This year’s event was especially meaningful, following Nico’s incredible journey as Jacksonville’s 2024 Youth of the Year. After winning the Northeast Florida title, he advanced to the Southeast regional competition in Atlanta and went on to be named the National Youth of the Year—a prestigious honor presented by none other than Denzel Washington. It’s these types of stories and seeing their impact that reaffirm why this partnership matters so deeply to us.
July 2024: Jumbo Shrimp Game Day for Club Kids
One of the most heartwarming moments of the year was hosting a group of Club members at a Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp game. The excitement on the kids’ faces said it all. We captured some great footage from the night—check it out on our Facebook page to relive the fun!
2025: Honoring Youth of the Year
Corner Lot proudly joined BGCNF in celebrating the 2025 Youth of the Year—an inspiring evening that honors outstanding young leaders who are shaping the future of our community. These remarkable youth embody resilience, determination, and vision.
June 2025: Jumbo Shrimp Game with Summer Interns and Club Youth
This summer, we brought our 2025 intern class together with BGCNF youth for another fun-filled day at the ballpark. Watching our interns connect with the kids over baseball, snacks, and shared stories reminded us of the profound impact that cross-generational mentorship and community interaction can have.
Why It Matters
Supporting the Boys & Girls Club of Northeast Florida aligns with our core values at Corner Lot—community, inclusion, and growth. These programs are more than after-school activities; they are life-changing spaces where young people build confidence, discover their passions, and prepare for successful futures.
We’re honored to walk alongside BGCNF as they continue this critical work and look forward to finding even more ways to contribute.
